Noise Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Welcome the the forum, Best thing to do is get a Gel battery as these can be fitted on the sides etc making them easier to fit in stupid places. My mate here at work has built a Suzi Cafe racer to compete in the classic bike races and fitted his battery in the ass end (the bubble behind the seat) along with the very limited wiring he has. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yammycafe Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Thanks noise. Ive been looking at mounting it under the hump, im going to need to lengthen my cables but cant seem to find what I need. Can u ask your mate how he did this. Gel battery is a good alternative so I will investigate. Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Your best bet with the cables is to make your own, buy about 2-4 meters of battery cable and some conectors and a very good pair of crimps (man size tho) and job is a gooden. E-bay is the best place to start and finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
